05.06

From their humble beginning in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Sepultura went to become the most successful Brazilian heavy metal band in history. More than ten years, the band grew from strength to strength, transforming itself from a primitive death metal ensemble into one of the creative trendsetters of the international aggressive music scene. Unfortunately, a bitter internal crisis almost destroyed the band, and Sepultura struggled to recover their previous momentum. Hailing from the three Brazilian cities, Belo Horizonte, Sepultura (which means grave in Portuguese) has been established in pertengahan'80s - a time when the country has begun to emerge from 20 years of military dictatorship. Max Cavalera (vocals / guitar), Igor Cavalera (drums), Paulo Jr. (bass), and Jairo T. (lead guitar) had trouble finding the time and even rock & roll album and especially "socially unacceptable" genres such as heavy metal and punk.
They are the beginning of the influence of Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Slayer (literally the first three records purchased by Max on a visit to the "big city" São Paulo), but the band soon progressed toward death metal sound, inspired by new bands such as trance and death . Their vehicles and determination (they sang in English from day one) more than those made to their geographic isolation and inexperience, and though it was all in their teens and still learning how to play their instruments, the band quickly evolved into underground contenders.

After landing a deal with independent Cogumelo Records, Sepultura recorded four songs for a split LP with fellow Brazilians overdose. Now reissued on CD and was named to the first song, 1985 from the destruction of the animal itself is generated and recorded in just two days - and it shows. Recorded with minimal time and money in August 1986, their first full-length album, abnormal Visions, showed little improvement, but their first hit, "Troops of Doom," which attracted some media attention and convinced the band to relocate to Bahia (Brazil from financial and capital city) to further their careers. They also replaced guitarist Jairo T. with Andreas kisser native Bahia, a greater musical ability would help take the entire band to the next level. In 1987, the technical proficiency Sepultura finally caught up with their creative vision, and they both long for the album Cogumelo, schizophrenia, displayed a remarkable evolution in terms of yield and performance. It has also become an important minor sensation in Europe and America, drawing the attention of Roadrunner Records, which promptly released the album worldwide and the band for a long term contract. No longer stuck on the border of Brazil, the band set about preparing 1989 from the remains, the first of four albums which would solidify Sepultura probably the most important position as a heavy metal band of the'90s. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro under the guidance of the leading manufacturers of Metal DEAT Scott Burns, the under remains a critical and commercial success soon, and the band's performances malignant force in Europe (which saw them systematically blowing headlining German thrashers Sodom off step

Further cemented Sepultura's reputation. Her band is also the first film a video, for the single "Inner Self", and finished the year with a show set triumphant tour in the homeland. After obtaining new management and Relocating to Phoenix, AZ, Sepultura entered Tampa's Morrisound Studios with producer Burns to record 1991 highly acclaimed Arise album. First single "Dead embrionic Cells" became a hit the others, and the title track will get more attention if the video was banned by MTV America due apocalyptic comparative religion. The world tour that followed elevated the album platinum sales worldwide (figure rarely achieved by bands such as the extreme nature), and a strange twist, found singer Max Cavalera marrying Bujnowski band manager Gloria, who has aged nearly twice his . That band's success with the label, Roadrunner, obtained a co-distribution deal with Epic Records for the next recording, 1993's Chaos AD. By incorporating social issues (especially related to Indonesia) in their lyrics, as well as displaying some of their punk and hardcore influences for the first time, the album is another worldwide smash thanks to singles like "Territory" and "refuse / Resist". Travel after for more than a year, members of Sepultura took a well-deserved break before starting work on their most ambitious album yet, 1996's Roots. The introduction of native Brazilian percussion and musical styles into their trademark down-tuned guitars and increasingly sociopolitical themes resulted in a very unique record that can be loosely described as heavy metal music world.

Roots marked Sepultura creative peak, and the band's continued to rise ever-more famous seems assured until a family tragedy turned a series of events that will disband the band. Just hours before taking the stage in the UK Monsters of Rock festival, the band discovered that the teenage son of manager (and singer Max's wife) Gloria had been killed in a car accident. A shocked Sepultura took the stage as a trio while Max and Gloria boarded the first plane back to America. Only a few months later, the band faced Max about severing ties with Gloria and finding new management. Still recovering from the trauma of death in the extended family, Max is seen as a great betrayal and left the band amid much bad blood and acrimony. As the band's creative leader, many expected to spell the end of Sepultura's departure, but the band announced that they will immediately implement and begin searching for a replacement. After a long search, Sepultura recruited Cleveland native Derrick Green as the new singer and began laying down tracks for 1998 from Against. Although still a lot of intensity and diversity of its predecessors (including collaboration with Japan's Kodo percussion ensemble on the track "Kamaitachi"), an album that unique spark shortages that characterized the band's prior work. It is also sold only half as many copies as Cavalera's first album with new band, Soulfly, clearly shows who the fan loyalty remained. Bold, Sepultura returned in early 2001 with Nation. The album followed in the footsteps of its predecessors, although better and more experienced in the review of Environmental vocals. In order to achieve its fan base slowly embarrassment, the group released one of the last live shows with Max, Under a Pale Grey Sky, in the fall of 2002. An EP of covers, Revolusongs, arrived in 2003, followed by a long Roorback. Living in Sao Paulo arrived in 2005.
